[Tlhingan-hol] Concerning the purpose clauses

[André Müller]

Thanks, SuStel, you're right. I remembered that there was one "exception"
and thus believed it was only a tendency rather than a rule. I think MO
explicitly stated that purpose clauses always come before the verb or noun
they modify. I can't find the exception in my notes now, but it was on page
173 of the paq'batlh.
Maybe artistic license.
